After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"Taozi, stop crying, or your eyes will get swollen." Xia Nian patted her back gently, biting her lip to prevent herself from looking sad. Taozi was already shaking from crying, and if she continued to cry, Taozi would definitely feel worse.

"I don't..." She buried herself in Xia Nian's arms, "After we say goodbye tomorrow, I don't know when we will meet again."

Tao Tao raised her head, and the person in front of her was blurred by the tears that kept coming out. "I'm so worried that you will be in danger."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Meng Yin comforted her, "Just find a jade slip. You won't encounter any danger. Maybe we can meet again in less than a week."

"No, I'm really worried about you guys." Xu Zheng said angrily, "Why don't we look for it together!"

Xia Nian and Meng Yin felt a little helpless. They were more worried that Xu Zheng was too careless and would be plotted against.

"Okay, A Zheng, don't worry too much." Xia Nian said, with reluctance in her tone, "We haven't been apart for too long. Now we are suddenly separated, and I really don't want to let go."

"I don't want to either." She sighed again.

"Niannian..." Tao Tao choked, and finally held back her tears and raised her head.

The two of them coaxed Xu Zheng and Tao Tao for a while. They had to leave tomorrow morning, so they got up and packed their things.

"Oh, right." Meng Yin turned around and said, "Just leave the book here with Nian Nian. If you have any questions, just write to us."

"Okay." Xia Nian nodded, and her arm patted Tao Tao's back. "It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone, otherwise I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable."

"Yeah." Meng Yin agreed. Seeing that Xu Zheng was still depressed, she went to comfort her again.

When the door opened, the four people inside and the four people outside bumped into each other.

"Why are you here?" Xia Nian asked.

"We just happened to come looking for you." Xiahou Yu blurted out. In fact, they had been waiting here for a while.

Tao Tao raised her head from Xia Nian's arms and looked at Yi Qing with tears in her eyes.

He walked forward, held her hand, and took out four jade whistles from his arms.

"This jade whistle, as long as it is blown, can be sensed thousands of miles away. You can use it to report your safety." He looked at Tao Tao with heartache, hoping that this would make her feel less uncomfortable.

Tao Tao sobbed as she brought the things to them, and finally she smiled a little.

"Thank you, Qing."

Yiqing shook his head and hugged her in his arms.

Fortunately, among the four, only Xu Zheng and Tao Tao were in a bad mood. Meng Yin and Xia Nian comforted them with a few words and then went back to the house to pack their things.

After returning to the room, Xu Zheng squatted in front of the bed in a daze.

"I'm sorry, A Zheng. We wanted to go together, but we didn't expect Mr. Lu to be persecuted." Pei Xuanxi walked over to her and squatted down, holding her slightly cold hand. "Time is tight, so we have to separate you temporarily."

Xu Zheng smiled weakly. She knew the separation was inevitable earlier than Pei Xuanxi. This was something the four of them had decided long ago. She was simply worried about their safety now.

"A Zheng, don't worry too much. With Xia Hou Yu by their side, nothing will happen." Pei Xuanxi continued to comfort her as if he knew what was on her mind.

She raised her eyelids to look at him, tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder, sighing: "I know... It's okay, I will be fine in a few days. I can't just focus on enjoying myself and ignore my career."

"Once you get the jade slip, you can be reunited." Pei Xuanxi's tone was light, but it made Xu Zheng feel at ease, which was rare.

She looked up and grinned at him.

-

The next day, the group got up quickly.

Pei Xuanxi arranged a carriage for them. The other three cities were in opposite locations, so they had to separate at the gate of Pei Mansion.

Yiqing clung to Tao Tao, holding her waist with his big hands. Tao Tao wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She had been sad for almost the whole night, and her eyes were still red, obviously she had not rested well.

Meng Yin and Xia Nian went up to her out of pity to comfort her, while Xu Zheng tried to make her laugh.

"A Zheng..." Tao Tao's tears continued, but the corners of her mouth were raised, "You are still feeling bad, but you are only concerned about comforting me."

"Hey, the main thing is not to make our Taozi sad." Xu Zheng smiled and pinched her cheek. Seeing her crying and laughing, she sang: "You look so beautiful when you smile ~ Like a spring flower ~"

“Hahahahahaha…” Meng Yin burst into laughter, and Tao Tao with blushing cheeks snuggled into Xia Nian’s arms.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's... go." Xia Nian patted her on the back, and when Tao Tao raised her head, she reached out and tidied her bangs on her forehead.

"Stop crying. If you keep crying your eyes will turn into walnuts." She said softly, and slowly pulled away Tao Tao's hand.

"Okay, let's go. We'll keep in touch through letters." Meng Yin smiled and shook the jade whistle in her hand.

She took a few steps back, and when it came time to say goodbye, she still couldn't hold back her expression, and was afraid of making Taozi cry, so she turned around, grabbed Gu Ling's hand, and got into the carriage.

"Hurry up and go up." Xia Nian pushed her into Yi Qing's arms, "Why do you make it seem like a life-and-death separation?"

When she said this, her heart trembled inexplicably.

Tao Tao nodded and held Yi Qing's sleeve tightly, "I won't cry anymore. You must be careful."

After saying that, she got into the carriage with the help of Yiqing.

Xia Nian breathed a sigh of relief, turned back and held Xu Zheng's hand, "Zheng, don't act rashly, discuss it with Pei Xuanxi, he is smart."

"Niannian, am I really stupid?" Xu Zheng asked deliberately, but there was a layer of mist in her eyes.

"No, you are very smart, but not as careful as him." Xia Nian smiled, "See you later, A Zheng."

Xu Zheng grabbed her hand when she turned around. She stammered and finally said, "Niannian, you must be careful. There is still that old witch in Xiahou Mansion!"

"Don't worry." Xia Nian comforted, "I have a way to cure her."

As the sun slowly rose, they leaned out of the carriage to say goodbye, and then left smoothly.

Xu Zheng fell into Pei Xuanxi's arms, and the aftereffects came up, and her tears and snot were all over him. Pei Xuanxi gently stroked her back, picked her up by the waist and took her back to the mansion.

In the carriage, Tao Tao was still crying silently in Yiqing's arms.

"Atao, don't worry, I will find the jade slip as soon as possible." Yi Qing's heart was broken. The last thing he wanted to see Tao Tao crying was

Tao Tao opened her red almond eyes and asked, "Ah Qing, am I being too sentimental? You can't stand just being apart for a while."

She recalled that in the real world, after taking the college entrance examination, they all went to different universities. At that time, the three of them tried their best to comfort her, and she barely felt less sad.

"I'm not being pretentious." Yi Qing said with certainty, "I just hate myself for not giving you what you wanted."

"Don't say that." Tao Tao nuzzled his neck. "Let's just work together. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself."

"Yeah." Yiqing nodded and wiped away her tears with his rough thumb, "Then Tao, please don't be sad, okay?"

Tao Tao shook her head repeatedly. She got up from Yi Qing's arms and sat up straight: "Don't be sad anymore! I can't rely too much on Yin Yin and the others. It will cause them a lot of trouble."

"It's okay to rely on me." Yiqing said seriously.

"No."

"Yes." Yi Qing held her face with both hands and forced her to look at him.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the distance between them. They were sticking together just now, but now after using him, she threw him aside?

Tao Tao looked straight at him, and when he was about to speak, she suddenly hugged his cheek, leaned forward and gently kissed his lips.

Yiqing's face turned visibly red. Tao Tao had already sat down on the bed, looking serious: "Okay, I'm going to read the medical book." He was still in a daze.

Within three seconds, he stuck to her again.

"Go away! I want to see something!" Tao Tao reached out to push him away, and was made to laugh and cry by him.

The clingy guy hugged her childishly: "If you kiss me again, I will consider sitting next to you!"
